Nullification.

FROM SOUTH CAROLINA.

CHARLESTON

FEB.

2.—Yesterday,

the birth-day of practical Nullification, otherwise called the fatal first of February, was signalized by no event of greater importance than a somewhat more rigid enforcement, than usual, of the revenue laws. The British ship Roger Stewart, from Greenock, and Spanish brig Hermoso Habanero. from Havana, were taken in charge by the United States Revenue, force in our harbor, until the duty on the merchandize they contained should be properly secured to the Government. This proceeding has been denounced by an Evening Journal, as a "Federal ag-

gression," and the first step towards collision with the State authorities.— So far from this being the case, the course pursued by the collector on this occasion, in compliance with his instruction, is in strict conformity with the provisions of the act entitled

"An

act to regulate the collection, of the duties on imports and tonnage," passed the 2d March 1798--an act, the validity or constitutionality of which has never been questioned. That this amounts to a "Federal aggression" can only be mainlined by those who are anxious for some pretext to commence hostilities.—Courier.

Resolved, That Virginia has never parted with the right to recall the authority so delegated, for good and sufficient cause, nor with the right to judge of the insufficiency of such cause, and to secede from the confederacy whenever she shall find the benefits of union exceeded by its evils, union being the means of securing liberty and happiness, and not an end to which they should be sacrificed.

Resolved, That the allegiance of the people of Virginia is due to her—that to her this obedience is due, while to them she owes protection against all the consequences of such obedience.

Resolved, That we have seen with deep regret, that Andrew Jackson, Esquire, President of the United States, has been influenced by desighing counsellors, to subserve the purposes of their own guilty ambition, to disavow the principles to which he owed his elevation to the Chief Magistracy of the Government of the United States, and to transfer his real friends and supporters, bound hand and foot, to the tender mercies of his and their bitterest enemies, the ultra federalists—ultra bank—ultra tariff—ultra internal improvement, and Hartford Convention men—the habitual scoffers at State rights, and to their instrument, the venal and prostituted press, by which they hare endeavored, and but too successfully, to influence and mislead public opinion.

Resolved, That Virginia will be found her own worst enemy whenever she consents to number among her friends, those who are never true to themselves, but when they are false to their country.

Resolved, That we owe it to justice, while denouncing this portentions combination between General Jackson and the late unhallowed coalition of his and our enemies, to acquit them of any dereliction of principle, and to acknowledge they, have but acted in their vocation.

SAME DATE (AFTERNOON.) Some excitement was produced here yesterday, in consequence of the detension by the Revenue Cutters (and not by the sloop of war Natchez, as stated by the Mercury this morning) of two vessels, the British ship Roger

Stewart, from Greencock, and the Spanish brig Hermoso Habanero, from Havana. The object of the detention was simply to secure the payment of the duties, under the state of things, being entirely new, produced by onr

Resolved, That while we utterly reprobate the doctrine of nullification as equally weak and mischievous, we cannot for that reason give our countenance to principles equally unfounded and in the highest degree dangerous to the liberties of the people.

JOHN RANDOLPH, of Roanoke.

FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, FEB. 12. THE TARIFF.--In the Senate yester-

day, Mr. Clay gave notice that he should, on this day, move for leave to introduce a bill to modify the Act of last session imposing Duties on Imports.— He had come to the determination to offer this measure with the hope—perhaps vain hope—of reconciling conflicting opinions in this country on the subject to which it related and he should, with the permission of the Senate, accompany the motion with some explanation of the principles on which the bill was bottomed.

In the House of Representatives, also, it will be perceived, by the report of Proceedings there, that a new direction is likely to be given to the bill depending in that House, and known as Mr. Varplanck's bill. In consequence of the motions in that House, the bill was postponed until to-day.

The final issue of this Tariff question has become more than ever uncertain.

FROM THE PHILADELPHIA HERALD. THE PUBLIC LANDS.—WE sincerely regret our inability to lay before our readers the masterly speech of Mr. Clay, on the bill relating to the Public Lands. The subject is, in itself, one of the greatest importance and Mr. Clay's views of it, we look upon as

February 19, 1833. An affair of honor, I think they call it, has just occurred here, which has produced some excitement. A Mr. of this State, was engaged to a Miss of She had previously been addressed by Dr. of this place, whom she refused. The Dr. in his wrath, writes the lady rather an insulting letter, in which he handled the character of his successful rival pretty roughly. The lady handed the letter to her accepted lover, who put it in his pocket, and in company with two friends, stepped into the stage and arrived here on Friday night. On the next morning the Doctor was pointed out to (they were entirely unacquainted) who stepped up and requested a few moment's conversation. After stepping aside, drew out the letter,- and demanded to know whether the Dr. was the author. He said be was. C then asked whether he had any apology to make? The Dr. said he would explain, but not then. C not feeling disposed to await his leisure, knocked him down with a heavy cane, and repeated his blows, until the Dr's. head was very much cut. A challenge was given, and accepted on Saturday, to fight near on Sunday at 4 o'clock. It was spoken of openly, and yesterday the combatants, accompanied by their friends and surgeons, and about fifty citizens, all anxious to see the fun, went over. Not liking so many spectators, the friends of the Dr. proposed to postpone it till this morniug. C—— consented to the postponement, but extended the term indefinitely, saying that as he was to marry the girl on Tuesday morning, he had no more time to fight, and if be liked her as well as be expected to, he rather thought he should not consent to be shot at. put off this morning to and thus the affair ended.

To the Public.

REPORT has been put in circulation, calculated to wound the feelings of myself and family, by Andre J. Trullinger It has been stated by him, that My grandfather on my father's side was a negro. In order to counteract the statement, and in justice to the feelings of my children, I subjoin the following affidavits, from which I think it will clearly appear, that Trullinger has willfully lied. State of Indiana, Fountain County, ss.

Personally appeared before me, James Lewellea. a Justice of the Peace for Fountain coiu.it, Nancy Vanhook, who being duly sworn, says—that she heard one Obadiah Watson, sworn before Charles Cade, Esq. in Pickaway county, who testified to his acquaintance with the paternal grandfather of Lewis Phebus, from the time of his coming to America, and that no appearance of Negro blood could be discovered in him, and further sayeth not.

Sworn to, and subscribed before me, this firat day of February, SAMUEL LEWELLEN, J. P. Stale of Indiana, Fountain County, ss.

Personally appeared before me, Samuel Lewellen, Bridget Fitzgerald, who being duly sworn., deposeth and sayeth—that she was acquainted with the paternal grandfather of Lewis Phebus and that he had no appearance of Negro blood, but was, as she always belived, of French descent, and further sayeth not.

Sworn and subscribed to before me, this first day of February, SAMUEL LEWELLEN, J. P.

From the above, the public can determine what reliance can be placed on the statement of Trullinger. I should not have resorted to this course, had I not been advised that the words spoken by him are not actionable. LEWIS PHEBUS.
